headpusher Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 meeting people through messageboards or chat rooms??your thoughts???i think its lame.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoxikated Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I think its pretty lame, too...a lot of ppl who do date people that they meet through the Internet tend to ONLY date ppl they meet through the internet...is it really so impossible for them for meet somebody face to face?Then again, there are the rare cases where it actually does work...one of my best friends met her boyfriend in a chat room, and they've been going out for like two years...lol but does the italianhotties aol chat room count? I think I've seen like 75% of those ppl in person just from living in queens.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headpusher Posted April 10 Author Report Share Posted April 10 actually i think its ok for people in the 40+ age group..say a 50 year old guy who lost his wife..then i think its fine,,but if you are in your 20s and 30s and only get laid through people you meet online.. then you got issues and are a really beat individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoxikated Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Yeah, definitely...like, what 22 yr old guy with a life is in the "I want to make a personal connection" chat room at 10 o'clock on a saturday night? Messageboards are kinda different though...I know a lot of ppl from messageboards from going out, and its cool how you can meet different people and have a huge group when you go out...i wouldnt use them for dating, though..

anotherway83 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 recently i was talking to this chic at school...just randomly hitting on her...she seemed really shy so i just asked her, "how do you usually make friends" so she actually said "i use myspace.com" lol...i was shocked...believe it or not she actually preferred meeting ppl. thru the internet than in real life!! and she was pretty damn hot too...what a tragedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalate Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 but if you are in your 20s and 30s and only get laid through people you meet online.. then you got issues and are a really beat individualAgreed. Most of the time its because they are too cheap and/or too lazy to spend the real time to go out and meet someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houze-kitty Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 i have met a lot of friends with the same interests as me thru the messageboards, and if something were to develop from the friendship, then so be it, but as far as soliciting a date? ummmmmmmmmm~~i guess it would depend on the person.

rollrgrll222 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I've never done it and personally I'm a little apprehensive about meeting people from the internet...what if they're like a serial killer....or a pedophile...I dunno..different strokes for different folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovrdose Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 any time you have the inclination to meet someone online, just think of it this way...why is the other person doing this, and what's wrong with them.you'll answer your own question.
